Free on iPhone
Shield of Faith
Put Christ before your feed. Choose the apps that pull hardest, set your morning hours, and they stay locked until you have read the day's Scripture or prayed. Then they open for the day.
Free, forever. No subscription, no trial, no ads, no account.
How it works
- Pick the apps. Choose the apps or categories that take your mornings, using Apple's own app picker.
- Set your morning. Choose when the Shield starts and ends, for example 6:00 to 9:00 AM.
- Start the day in the Word. Complete today's reading, a prayer, either, or both. Your apps open for the rest of the day.
Why it is called the Shield of Faith
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
The first hour of the day decides a great deal. The Shield makes sure Scripture and prayer get it, not the feed.
Why it is free
“freely ye have received, freely give.”
Most apps like this charge a weekly or yearly subscription. We do not think anyone should pay to pray. Sovereign Logos has no ads and no in-app purchases, and the Shield needs no account. Your app choices and your hours never leave your phone.
The same app has the full Septuagint and KJV with the Apocrypha, daily readings with audio, and side-by-side comparison. See everything in the app.
Questions
- Is Shield of Faith really free?
- Yes. It is part of the free Sovereign Logos app. There is no subscription, no trial, no in-app purchase and no ads, and you do not need an account.
- Does it work on iPhone and Android?
- Shield of Faith is on iPhone (iOS 17 or later). It is built on Apple Screen Time, which Android does not have. The Android app has the same Bible, daily readings and audio, but not the Shield.
- What permission does it need?
- Apple Screen Time permission, which iOS asks for when you turn the Shield on. If you decline, the Shield runs as an in-app gate instead: Sovereign Logos opens to your devotion, but other apps are not locked.
- Can I choose which apps to lock?
- Yes. You pick the apps or categories with Apple’s own app picker, and you can change the selection or turn the Shield off at any time in Settings.
- When are my apps locked, and what unlocks them?
- Only during a morning window you set, for example 6:00 to 9:00 AM. Complete today’s reading, a prayer, either one, or both (your choice) and your apps open for the rest of the day. Your reading goal can be any reading or the Bible in a Year plan.
- Is my data private?
- Your chosen apps and your morning window stay on your phone. Apple gives the app opaque tokens, not app names, and we never receive which apps you use.
